Can't access three routers through 192.168.1.1, Not address of router. HELP?

Long story here, and I am baffled...
My parents were initially connected to a broadband connection through a wired BEFSX41 router. After moving the computers to another room had major connectivity issues. Tried to access router through 192.168.1.1 and could not. Ran ipconfig and found address to be 76.180.104.1. Tried reset, power cycles, release and renew, could not get it to go back to 192.168.1.1. Brought a WRT54G I had over, had normal results for a brief period(10 seconds tops) then again, same ip address and connectivity issues. After this I brought both routers home, connected them to my laptop, but not my network, inspected the configurations and updated firmware, with no issues. So to narrow down issues I brought the WRT54G to my sisters house. She runs a WRT160N. Before changing anything I accessed 160N through webpage, checked settings and verified ip through ipconfig to be 192.168.1.1. All ok. Replaced her 160N with 54G and had wrong ip address again, also 76.180.104.1, so I decided router was somehow damaged/corrupted. This is where this story turns really crappy for me. When I reconnected the 160N, the ip address was 192.168.1.1 for 15 seconds, then in ipconfig two ip addresses were shown suddenly. They were 76.180.96.1 and 192.168.1.1. Ran ipconfig again and got only 76.180.96.1, and now I can no longer access router.
My sister talked to a knowledgeable guy she knows before I hooked it to her computer and he surmised a Google redirect virus which I did sign on to. But now it seems the 54G router has transferred this virus/issue to my sisters computer, which then uploaded it to her 160N. Judging by the time delay when initially connecting 54G, I think maybe this virus is somehow corrupting routers? Does this sound possible to anyone? And if so, what are my options to save the routers, and not have to re-image computer drives? Anyone with any knowledge, please help, cause the idea of having to re-image three computers is killing me. Also I did not leave any of the routers with the original password. Thank you in advance for your help.

Good. The symptoms you saw (computer gets public IP address) is most commonly because you connect one of the LAN ports of the router to your modem. That way the computer can talk directly to the modem and gets a public IP address.
Sometimes this can happen if the router crashes and won't boot up (often power light is blinking). In that case, the switch in the router won't separate the internet port from the LAN port again giving computers direct access to the modem.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Can someone access my email through iCloud if they used to have access to my email?

Can someone access my email through iCloud if they used to have access to my email?

Your question is not clear. If it is a Yahoo email account, then where does iCloud come into the picture? Or do you mean you are using the yahoo.com email address as your Apple ID? These are entirely different things. The Yahoo email account is not in any way related to the Apple ID that is using that email address as the Apple ID.

Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

After a while, cannot connect to WRT320N through 192.168.1.1

I have a WRT320N with latest firmware 1.0.03.
Everything works OK other than the fact that after a while (hours / days) I cannot connect to the router through http://192.168.1.1 but I have connection to the internet though. If I restart the router, I cannot connect to it but after a while I can't do it again. When I try, browser stays for minutes and eventually gives me the "Page not found error". This is happening from any computer (I have 4 computers wired and 2 wireless). The wired computers are connected through a GbLan switch and they have different OS: Vista(x64), XP(x86), Windows Server 2003 (x86) and Windows Server 2008 (x64). The 2 computers wireless connected are Windows 7 (x86) and Windows 2000. From all of them I have the same problem and after restarting the router I can connect again from any.
This behavior had been in place from the beginning but not being under pressure because I rarely have to change something in router's settings, I did not report it in time and now it seems is out of warranty.
My question is if this is something that happened to others (but I was not able to find any similar reports) or is it something wrong with my router? As I said before, other than that, router is functioning without any issues.
Thank-you

Is someone using bittorrent or any p2p software? p2p software, downloading using torrent opens a lot of TCP port, hogging the router's resources. Thus, accessing the router's gui is sluggish or not even opening up.
Upgrade the router's firmware.

Can't connect to Internet and 192.168.1 network at the same time

I have been having an issue with my MacBook's networking for the past 4 months. Here are the specifics:
*My MacBook is connected to the Internet via a linux router, with an address in the 192.168.1.x address space. DNS server is an openDns server, 208.67.222.222
*My MacBook is assigned an IP Address manually in the 192.168.1.x namespace
*I have a printer manually assigned an address in the 192.168.1.x namespace
Problem:
* I can only connect to my printer if I leave my DNS server entry blank under my Airport TCP/IP configuration
* I can only connect to the Internet when my DNS server entry to set to the openDNS server entry.
Question:
Is there any way I can connect to both my local network printer and the Internet at the same time? I have set up two locations that I can switch between, but I would prefer to be able to access both networks at once.

I tried turning AppleTalk on, but no luck.
It seems that the problem is related to basic TCP/IP connectivity. For example, when my DNS server is set to blank, I get a fine response from the command "ping 192.168.1.253". However, when my DNS is set to one of the openDNS servers, I get this error:
PING 192.168.1.253 (192.168.1.253): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: Host is down

As you want to Upgrade your router's firmware you can try the TFTP Utility...
Download TFTP Utility 36.0 KB...
Download Firmware 2.95 MB...
Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...

I have an iPad mini, 16GB, running on the 7.1.2 iOS system, my App Store icon is no longer on my home screen and neither is my iTunes Store icon. They are listed in my settings but I can't access any unless through other games, or songs on iPad.

I Have an iPad mini operating on 7.1.2 iOS. My App Store icon as well as my iTunes Store icon are missing from my home scree. They are still listed under my settings, but I can't access them unless it's through an app that already exists. Where can I go to reinstall these? I use the same Apple ID on my iPhone 5c as well and they are on the iPhone, but I don't know how or why they just disappeared from my iPad and want to know how to get them back without having to reset my iPad and lose what I have on it. Thanks, Karla

Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

I have Itunes on my PC. For some reason, I now have only one song in my library. I can still access my songs through my hard drive but they don't show up on Itunes anymore. Any idea how I can fix this?

I have a lot of songs in my Itunes library. However, for some reason, they have disappeared and I only have one song left. When I check under My Music, I can see all the songs but can't access them through Itunes. Any idea why this happended and how I can fix it?

I think I fixed this problem a few years ago by literally copying and pasting all my audio content into the iTunes library folder. I can't remember what is called of the top of my head and I don't know if this will still work.

Can't access jpeg files through finder after import to iPhoto '11

Am I missing something here? I recently imported my entire library from a backup source to iPhoto '11 on a new computer. I used to be able to browse the folders in the iPhoto library in a finder window. Now when I try to open the iPhoto library, the application itself launches.

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Accessing files via the Finder has never been supported on any version of iPhoto.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.

*_(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)_*
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage/Outlook, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: File -> Reveal In Finder on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
All of the above are a: Faster and b: Safer than rooting around in the old Library folders.

Browser window is not opening on my Aspire One Netbook even though Firefox is launching; how can I fix this if I can't access the internet through a browswer?

Everything on my Acer Aspire One Netbook (with a Limpus Light OS (Linux)) works fine except for a few weeks ago Firefox stopped opening up the browser window. I know my internet connection is fine because I can access my email through the netbook's email interface. Also, I've received messages indicating it couldn't open Firefox because Firefox was already running and I needed to shut down the one running first.

hello scoop, since these symptoms can sometimes be caused by malware active on a system, please first run a scan with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner].
